    • It has nothing to do with the need. I am 100% confident that this province needs more family physicians and that both access and the availability of family physicians are at critically low levels. Who is going to train these doctors? Even family medicine programs need access to sites with dedicated CTUs, OB, pediatrics, emergency medicine and family med clinics with faculty willing to teach. They need people to teach and create lectures, seminars, tutorials, academic day and simulation for residents, etc. Physicians in community settings aren't always interested in providing this and getting buy-in from those who just want to practice and are already burnt out is miserable. Not wanting to be involved in academics is why many went to the community in the first place. Finding the capacity in hospitals/clinics for an additional several hundred people (per year) is nearly impossible. Even TMU right now is in the process of not being able to obtain RC accreditation for many of their residency programs because they don't have the appropriate infrastructure in hospitals to provide rotations or teaching for residents. They are relying on other schools to accept and teach their trainees that also don't have capacity to support their current learners. The idea up front is excellent, but the downstream infrastructure doesn't exist to actually feasibly train this many new doctors. They can't just show up to a clinic and be a functional member of the healthcare team. The money is there, but it's a publicity stunt with poorly explored consequences.
    • I'm sorry, I was of the opinion that you wanted an honest answer to your post and not just a bunch of people to tell you amazing you are and how easy your path is going to be. The deprecating sarcasm won't earn you any sympathy here. My response wasn't meant to be rude or inflammatory, and it certainly wasn't to diminish your accomplishments to this point. However, if you are going to ask for honest advice on this forum, you should expect to receive that and be open to that feedback. Thousands of people apply and get rejected to medicine every year, many of whom have applications that look exactly like yours. I am not saying it is not possible, and I believe I actually encouraged you to try in my initial post. I think anyone posting advice on this site, especially those that previously spent multiple cycles applying and going through rejections, went to graduate school, and spent years on medical school and CaRMS admission committees owe it to provide honest feedback. Now how you handle that is up to you, but don't waste everyones time if you already have an answer in mind that you're just waiting to hear.  
    • Félicitations @littlemiss et @Ortho123, ça bouge vite sur liste d’attente, ça devrait être bon pour vous. 
    • J’ai reçu hier soir mon acceptation à UQTR.  j’étais très surprise en voyant le courriel à 22h15. Je sais pas quand les réponses vont commencer à sortir pour les autres universités. J’attends aussi le retour de l’UdeM.    Bon courage pour l’attente !
    • Merci ! Bonne chance pour tes admissions @littlemiss
    • If you still see the “Cancel your application” button, what do you see below it?
    • Mercii!! Oui je suis 5e. Ça bouge rapidement donc j'ai de l'espoir pour nous 2! Oui moi aussi. J'ai appliqué à Udem, Ulaval, UQTR et UOttawa 
    • I was in reality itching to get some wager some monied on some sports matches that are circumstance fitting now. I wanted to say you guys be familiar with that I did find what I weigh to be the kindest plat in the USA.

    • J’ai pas eu à faire d’entrevue
    • Félicitations à toi aussi! Je suis 14e et toi? (Si tu souhaites partager.) On espère qu'une place se libère pour nous!  J'attends les réponses des autres universités. As-tu appliqué à plusieurs universités?
    • Félicitation! Oui je viens aussi de voir le courriel et je suis aussi sur la liste d'attente. As-tu vu ton rang? On croise les doigts 
    • Avez-vous eu des nouvelles des nouvelles de l'UQTR? J'ai eu ma réponse, je suis sur la liste d'attente. 
    • ahh super! Comment avait tu trouvé les entrevues ?
    • Je viens de regarde dans mon courriel avec mon rang et c'est seulement 153 personnes qui ont appliqués au niveau collégial l'an passé, donc je pense que c'est très plausible qu'un 30,5 soit convoqué. 
    • Biologie médicale pour avoir des cours crédités en chiro justement!
